HandBrake's Preview window is a useful tool to make sure that
you're ripping the right thing.
Whenyou'resatisfiedthatyou'veidentifiedthefilesthatareepisodes(orwhatevertitlesyou
want to rip), close the Preview window.

ripping queue. However, you can enable auto-naming in HandBrake > Preferences.
Choose the first episode to rip from the Title pop-up menu, click the File field, and add
some distinguishing text to the filename that appears there. For example, in a disc that I
ripped, HandBrake named each file
GOLDENGIRLS_S4D1
(the “D” standing for “disc”). For
the first episode, I changed this to
GOLDENGIRLS_S4E1
(
S4E1
stands for Season 4, Epis-
ode 1). I then clicked the Add to Queue button in the toolbar. I named the next episode
GOLDENGIRLS_S4E2
, added it to the queue, and so forth.
Note:
Episode naming is a guess. It's not unusual for TV show titles to be random and
out of order. Unfortunately, you might have to do some investigation to make sure
you label the episodes correctly.

A new window opens, showing your queue (
